On Thanksgiving, I find it appropriate to write my review of Ms. Ann's rental home on Big Pine Key as I could not be more appreciative to have been blessed to stay there earlier this month. From the first communications with her to the continued support and friendship that blossomed afterward was a blissful experience. The house is devine with classic beachfront decor with understated elegance. None of the bright pastels and kitschy decor so often found in beach rentals. From the tile details in the new bathrooms to the wide open floorplan it's perfect for anyone. The additional bedroom, bath and laundry on the bottom is great. A handicapped person could stay with family if the wheelchair can get over the stone drive or they are slightly mobile. While the kitchen is upstairs, the patio area could be used to eat and gather in good weather. The location was delightful. Morning sunrise from the deck or masterbed, the tarpon jumping in the canal, the easy walk to the bridge over to NoName Key are all priceless. Easy trips to the Blue Hole or just looking out for the Key Deer. Relaxing at the house, taking the kayak up the canal or out to fish under the bridge, renting or bringing a boat as the slip is right under the house, going to Bahia Honda, Key West or other day trips out and about, this is the perfect home to retreat to. We didn't want to leave for our next destination Key Largo for diving that didn't happen due to bad weather. We would've jumped at the chance to go back to Ms. Ann's house. What a doll Ms. Ann is a landlord who becomes a lifeline and a friend. She is the embodiment of what true Key's people are like. The pure essence of someone who treats you like they've known you forever. She is happy to share as much knowledge as possible and provides great care to her home. Her pride shows throughout as an example of her time and devotion to provide you with a cozy place to stay. Her love of the area and through her wanting your enjoyment and stay to be the best it can be are part of what makes this rental unique. Therefore, as I pointed out in this review, this is the rental you'll be forever thankful in finding.
